Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0837507A1] A bipolar power transistor of interdigitated geometry having a buried P type base region (320), a buried N type emitter region (325), a P type base-contact region (330), an N type emitter-contact region (335, 355), connected to an emitter electrode (370) and an N type connection region (340) disposed around the emitter-contact region (335, 355). The emitter region (325) is buried within the base region (320) in such a way that the buried emitter region (325) and the connection region (340) delimit a P type screen region (345); the transistor further includes a biasing P type region (350) in contact with the emitter electrode (370), which extends up to the screen region (345). <IMAGE>
